It sounds like “DK!” And yes, all the theme answers also have those initials. 33D DANNY KAYE – Is this is most famous role?. ![]() They used to actually call me “DK” in middle school for a couple of years, so today’s theme really made me smile! Here are the starred clues: Maybe next year! I am still in awe of the fact that English his not her native language! My only regret this past weekend at the ACPT was not being able to meet this constructor! She had a puzzle in the tournament, so I thought it might happen.
